Hmm, this looks straightforward. I'll need to think through the different virtual interface options and determine which one is required to use the AWS Direct Connect connection.

I'm feeling a bit uncertain about whether the lack of public input really subverts the process. It seems like efficiency might be a valid reason, but I remember practice questions stressing the importance of public participation.

Is there a 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' option? Seems like the easiest way to settle this disagreement.
